You mean the whole built-in keyboard doesn't work or only some keys aren't recognized?

Yes, some keys dont work.

Which keys? Multimedia keys or regular ones like letters and numbers?

Multimedia and numbers

As for the numbers, maybe you need to toggle the numlock?

No, after reboot all keyboard keys seems to be working except the ctrl key. I cant use nano, because ctrl key dont works.
Tried this:
xev | grep -A2 --line-buffered '^KeyRelease' | sed -n '/keycode /s/^.*keycode $[0-9]*$.* (.*, $.*$).*$/\1 \2/p'

And then i press ctrl key nothing happens.
